Not only for people, but it can be more true for animals. They can't control what humans are dosing them. Extra dosing of supplements can have cumulative affect on man and their animals.
Moose is thoroughbred horse. They tend to be high strung and Moose is no exception. The cumulative effect on him over months became noticeable to the extent that he was getting dangerous to ride. My trainer asked if he was on a daily vitamin regimen. I was affirmative, he was negative. He told me to take him off all that stuff. I did. After a few weeks, Moose calmed down.
Like most supplement stories, this one is anecdotal and was only my personal experience. I have taken large doses of vitamins in years past. But I worked for pharmaceutical companies and they were readily available to me. I was marketing them and 'accentuating the positive, eliminating the negative' and then there was no 'Mr. In-between.'
Since that time I found that genes, age, food and exercise were the major determining factors, and not if when I peed it looked like a Star Wars light sword.

The case for dietary supplements is collapsing.
A succession of large-scale human studies, including two published earlier this month in leading medical journals, suggests that multivitamins and many other dietary supplements often don't have health benefits—and in some cases may even cause harm.
After decades of research on the possible benefits of nutritional supplements, the handwriting is on the wall: Vitamins look to be a bust for the majority of people, many leading scientists are concluding"The better the quality of the research, the less benefit [supplements] showed," says Marion Nestle, professor of nutrition, food studies, and public health at New York University. "It's fair to say from the research that supplements don't make healthy people healthier."
